Organizational structure

SWERVE is funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR), together with 7 Partner Organisations who each provide a SWERVE infrastructure: The University of Gothenburg (GU), the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat (SPRS), the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU), the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Umeå University (UmU), the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) and Stockholm University (SU). These Partners constitute the SWERVE Consortium.

SWERVE Secretariat

The lead organisation for SWERVE is GU, which is also where the Secretariat is located.
